Regional officials address Forestas budget and Puglia wildfire strategies

In Sardinia, regional assessors Rosanna Laconi, Sebastian Cocco, and Giuseppe Meloni have launched a joint effort to resolve financial issues within the Forestas agency. The initiative aims to clarify the agency's 2026-2028 budget proposals following concerns regarding the use of resources subject to specific legal constraints. The officials are working to distinguish between funds Forestas can sustain independently and those requiring additional regional allocations to ensure operational continuity and reorganization.

In Puglia, regional assessors Debora Ciliento and Francesco Paolicelli will conduct a series of meetings across various provinces in November to review the 2026 forest fire prevention campaign. These sessions will involve civil protection systems, firefighters, Carabinieri Forestali, and local mayors to analyze operational dynamics and propose improvements for the 2027 campaign. The goal is to strengthen forest resource protection and define a shared regulatory framework for future prevention strategies.
